Adding a typical habitable renovation allowance of €200/m2 gives an effective price of €143,000 (≈€650/m2) versus the local median of €408/m2. Large 220 m2 house with 300 m2 garden, one finished apartment and a second 'rustico' to complete with good photo coverage, but the high effective €/m2 makes it overpriced.
More on the house and the area
A large, solid two‑storey house with a private 300 m² garden, portico and garage — very liveable as seen and offering charming vaulted rooms and original floors. Not a dramatic view property, but excellent value for the size and easily refreshed into a comfortable family home (a few cosmetic works and finishing the secondary unit required).
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€15,000 – €25,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- Exterior plaster peeling and will need redecoration/pointing
- Some interior finishes are dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating
- Second smaller unit is currently 'al rustico' and requires completion
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 42/100Mortara sits in the Lomellina plain, a flat agricultural area between the Ticino and Sesia rivers with extensive rice fields and irrigation canals. The nearest larger town is Vigevano, which has a substantial historic centre focused on Piazza Ducale and the Sforza Castle. Pavia is also within ordinary driving distance for services and rail links. This area is known for rice cultivation and for goose-based food traditions of the Lomellina.
